Me (user): I have identified this problem in testing. Is this known?
Person purporting to speak on behalf of debian: Don't run testing.
And the conversation goes in circles for 15 minutes while they attack the me until someone finally provides the answer. "Yes it's a known problem since 2 weeks ago. Yes there is no secure way to update the repository keys." Or similar.
And later I eventually find my way to a solution and/or workaround.
In other words, it shouldn't be surprising that people yell about problems in testing, because the communication around problems in testing is so bad.
